Who's got the bigger garage? That's friends with benefits! :ph34r:

Decided to play with the powdercoater today!
Did some small plates for the front crossmember and then hit the front spindles. Not bad! Satin black almost looks flat black but I like it.

Blasted and prepped

Silicone plugs and heat tape still on the spindles. They stay hot quite a while!

Should also note, I pre-baked the spindles for half an hour at 450 before powdering them. Off gassing and burning out impurities.

Hi awesome restoration. Can you believe that some people say that real men don't bake?
